Because Edward Loper's code was not available, eventually DKPro Cassis was built in 2018 by Jan-Christoph Klie and myself. It is available under the Apache License 2.0. https://github.com/dkpro/dkpro-cassis I believe that DKPro Cassis has full support for creating, deserializing, manipulating and serializing CAS XMI files by now. It also has support for the new (experimental) UIMA CAS JSON format. https://github.com/apache/uima-uimaj-io-jsoncas If anybody finds any problems with DKPro Cassis, please open an issue in its tracker at GitHub. As far as I know the DKPro Cassis has found some friends in the UIMA community that are actively using it. Cheers, -- Richard
